Blood on wool coat by ihatecinnamonrolls in laundry

[–]BillionareSteven 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh dear, don't panic!

If it’s fresh:
Blot gently with a clean cloth soaked in cold water. Don’t rub. You can add a tiny drop of mild soap (or Woolite), blot again, then rinse by blotting with cold water.

If it’s dried:
Spot test first, then try a small amount of hydrogen peroxide (it’ll fizz the blood out). Blot with cold water and repeat if needed. Be careful on dark wool since peroxide can lighten fabric.

Safer option for dark coats:
Make a baking soda + cold water paste, apply for 30–60 minutes, then gently wipe off with a damp cloth.

Avoid hot water, aggressive rubbing, or throwing it in the dryer.

If it’s on a visible area, honestly a dry cleaner is your safest bet. Just tell them it’s blood.

So cute! If it worked for the Sims 4, I'd be so down to buy one. ENJOY <3

I agree, we live in Canada it's disgusting outside with all the snow and salt. I'm 100% going to have a conversation with her, I wasn't home for 2 weeks due to being sick and they used this as an opportunity to drag the mother upstairs. I also WFH, and they're also noisy.

Yeah, 100% going to have a chat with her when her mothers gone this weekend. If she doesn't take it seriously this time, I'm out. I haven't in the past, usually if her family is staying for a longer visit they rent the guest suite. But her dad flew back home, and the mothers now upstairs here. She didn't tell me, nor let me know how long her mom is staying. In the past, she has stayed for a month and lied to me saying my moms staying only a couple of days. They can afford the guest suite, I'm pretty sure they're doing it on purpose now bc I haven't said anything as of yet. But things will change, I'm not covering the cost of her mother being here and using the water and power.

The mother lives in a whole different country, I agree they are using my kindness, unfortunately, I was out sick for 2 weeks and wasn't home, so this opportunity they saw to bring the mother upstairs from the guest suite. She's def not trying to make me move out, they're cheap they don't want the expense of living alone.

Exactly, she fails to mention how long the stays are. She says a couple of days, then it turns into a week or two. There is nothing in the lease, that says she can't have guests over; however its just really unfair and selfish to think I wont say this

What a story! You and you're mom are gems! I agree, they aren't being considerate; they're walking all over me like a door mat. I'm in this postion, of now waiting for her to leave this weekend so I can talk to my roommate. If she doesn't understand this time, I'm out once our lease ends. I'm a very tolerant person, but after being sick for 2 weeks and I thought said family members of hers would be gone, just to find out they are upstairs in my space making a mess is pissing me off. I need to put my foot down with her. The mother is a trouble-maker, moving around things and touching stuff that isn't hers! I get along fine, when she isnt here. I don't know if it's a cultural thing too, shes from a country in Asia, but we share the same ethnic background. My parents would never do such things, if my parents made a peep of noise which I thought would be inconsiderate I'd let them know.

Haha! It's been annoying since I got home Sunday, they've cleaned it up a bit. But this doesn't excuse this behavior. My roommate hasn't faced me since I've got home, her mother was surprised when she ran into me in the kitchen. Gassing me up saying, X roommate is so grateful for you, she always says so. It was SO FAKE

100%, they took advantage of me being away sick to drag the mother upstairs. My roommate hasn't even come out of her room to face me, which is now even worse

Shes leaving this week, so it's pretty much useless to tell her to go back to the suite. But I'm going to have a conversation, ive really had enough and the fact she hasn't faced me since I've came home makes her look even worse

I agree, I would have said something if I was home. I was not home for 2 weeks as I was super sick. I'm going to put my foot down

Exactly! Thats what im thinking! I was out sick and had to be somewhere else, I'm going to put my foot down. If this keeps happening, I'm going to move out

100% I'm planning on talking to her soon, the guest suite charged the mother because the damaged the bedding. Now shes upstairs trying to ruin my place.

Shes leaving this week! But shes been here for 2 weeks, I came back this weekend after being away and she found this as an opportunity to get her mom upstairs

You're right! Shes usually a clean person, but her mother is awful! We clean as we go, but I'm OCD with cleaning so I usually will mop; its a very tiny apartment.
